Many legal problems are unique, one of a kind situations, and thus we promise you will receive the personalized service you deserve. You deserve to have an attorney on your side that you can trust to give you good legal advice, be honest and not waste your time or money while looking at your situation from all perspectives.
 
We understand the special circumstances that face family farms, small businesses and property owners. We know how unforseen legal problems can wipe out your profit. Our law firm understands the unique legal situations that arise in small towns and the challenges that come with business or land ownership. We would love to help you with those issues.
 
We take pride in representing our clients from the rural parts of Oregon as well as our local clients from Portland and the Willammette Valley. Our lawyers know the frustration you can feel when your issue is fought in a far away city, or decided by a government agency you are not familiar with, where the needs of the local community seem to be forgotten. These are a few of the reasons why we serve many small communities that other firms ignore and why we plan to continue.
Land use approvals, property disputes, and development.
Our law firm can guide you along a complex or simple property disputes or real estate transaction. We can walk you through development approvals or property disputes even if it is EFU or Ag. land. The goal here is to minmize costs, and avoid litigation while making sure your assets and investment is protected and your interests are secure. We can represent you at the local level in your home town and at the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) if necessary. You won't find anyone that cares more about land use issues than the attorneys at our firm.

Business matters, entity formation, corporate structure, trademark or trade secrets.

Your business is as important to us as it is to you. Whether you are a sole proprieter or a well established business, we can serve your needs. You don't need to be a billion dollar company to deserve quality legal help to preserve what you have built. Don't get tied up by fear or the government regulations. Click here to see a few of our successes.
 
 
Municipal Law- Administrative Law
Do you need to challenge legislation or a government decision? We frequently work with cities, counties, boards or commissions when there are disputes about whether a person or a government agency has followed the proper rules and regulations. You do need someone that understands the Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR's) structure. We know how to manage that process for you. There may be simple solutions to your complex problems. What happens when you get a civil investigative demand? Should you sign an agreement of voluntary complaince (AVC)? If you find yourself in that situation, you need to call us.

I OFFER VOLUNTEER BASIC FINANCIAL ADVICE
As part of our pro-bono service to the public Tyler offers volunteer time for basic financial advice to anyone interested. Financial problems permeate our society, ruin marriages, drag people into personal problems and keep great people from achieving the success their skills could otherwises obtain for them. Feel free to come by our office or call us to set up a time to talk. (I do not recommend any products, investments, etc. nor do I sell anything! My financial advice might best be compared to Suzie Orman or Dave Ramsey).

Real estate transactions, contracts, landlord-tenant services.

Oregon real estate law and Oregon landlord tenant law can be minefields for the unwary. We can guide you on one time real estate transactions or be your go-to team for ongoing property matters.

 

Oregon election law.

We can advise you on initiative petition matters or election law during your campaign or help you preserve your rights against laws or adminstrative rules that infringe on you. We care deeply about public meetings laws, fair and honest government and protecting local rights.

Corporate Counsel.

Often full time legal staff may cost too much for your organization. Our legal services are available with creative pricing for all levels of part time involvement with your company to answer your occassional call for legal assistance.

 
Recruiting law, Non-Compete agreements, and employment restrictions.
With a former career building some of the world's most elite technology teams, I understand the ins and outs of competitive employment.
